Features

Features

  • EQUIPPED FOR ANY PURPOSE: Fast curve changes, gravel shooting up, endless tours: With the R 1250 GS, you decide what your adventure will look like. Its continuously optimized technology and extensive equipment will take you safely, dynamically and comfortably over any route.
  • LED FLASHING TURN INDICATORS AS STANDARD WITH OPTIONAL CRUISING LIGHT: Increase visibility thanks to their strong luminosity. The Cruising Light keeps the front indicators constantly dimmed and ensures a striking appearance, especially at night and in poor visibility.
  • HANDLEBAR RISERS OF 30 mm: Ensure a relaxed posture and give you much more control when riding standing up.
  • ENDURO PACKAGE FOR TRIPS OFF-ROAD: Less road, more fun: Engine protection bar, sports suspension, handlebar risers and off-road tires invite you to explore routes way off the beaten track.
  • COMFORTABLE HEATED SEAT: Easily adjustable to several levels, it provides you and your passenger with comfortable warmth in low temperatures and on long tours.
  • ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT WITH LED HEADLIGHT: Enables the best possible illumination of the inner curve area.
  • RIDE MODES PRO AND ECO MODES: Fun at the touch of a button: The Ride Modes Pro are adapted to different riding styles and give you even more control over your bike with features such as the new dynamic engine brake control. The new ECO Mode in series gets the most out of every full fuel tank.
  • DTC AND ABS PRO IN SERIES: Enable precise handling in every riding situation: ABS Pro stabilizes the bike when braking in a heel angle. DTC prevents the rear wheel from spinning on surfaces with little grip.
  • CONNECTIVITY WITH TFT DISPLAY AND USB REMOTE POSITIVE TERMINAL: The TFT display connects your smartphone and bike together and, together with the BMW Connected App, enables you to find your route, listen to music and make phone calls while on the move. Thanks to the new USB socket, your smartphone never runs out of power when you’re on the road.
  • THE RIGHT MODE FOR EVERY ADVENTURE: Tarmacked roads, wet roads or unpaved gravel roads: The seven riding modes of the R 1250 GS ensure optimum grip and superior handling at all times. When the vehicle is stationary, you can pre-select up to four riding modes individually in the menu, which you can then select quickly and conveniently during the journey using the riding mode button. The new dynamic engine brake control provides more stability and easy control of the bike in the Pro riding modes; it prevents the rear wheel from slipping or jerking. And in the new standard ECO Mode, you get the maximum range from every tank of fuel.
  • SEE AND BE SEEN: The perfect illumination for every curve: The adaptive headlights switch on automatically when the vehicle is tilted, providing optimum illumination of bends depending on gradient and payload – a significant plus in terms of safety and comfort. The multifunctional rear LED flashing turn indicators ensure an eye-catching appearance and even greater visibility.
